pharmachologic effect

The pharmacological action is to replenish the lack of vitamins and minerals in the body. It is determined by the complex of minerals and vitamins that is part of this multivitamin complex.

Vitamin A is directly involved in the synthesis of lipids, proteins, and mucopolysaccharides.

Vitamin D3 helps maintain a normal balance of calcium and phosphorus in the body of the expectant mother. Its deficiency in a child can lead to the development of rickets , and adults, due to vitamin D3 deficiency, suffer from osteoporosis , which develops due to a decrease in calcium levels.

B vitamins take an active part in the production of enzymes that determine metabolic processes in a woman’s body.

Folic acid helps normalize the production of blood cells and also takes part in the synthesis of amino acids. In the first trimester of pregnancy, folic acid reduces the likelihood of neural tube defects in the fetus.

Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant. Under its influence, peripheral blood flow is normalized and increased blood clotting is stopped. In addition, it is involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin and proteins, improves the functions of the heart, blood vessels, and skeletal muscles. If a woman's body lacks vitamin E in the first weeks of pregnancy, the likelihood of miscarriage increases.

Vitamin C promotes the regulation of metabolic processes in connective tissue, promotes regeneration processes, blood clotting, activates the production of steroid hormones, and increases the body's level of resistance to infectious diseases and inflammation.

Calcium ensures the normal process of bone tissue formation. The element also ensures normal levels of blood clotting, heart function, and transmission of nerve impulses. The element promotes the process of iron absorption into the body.

Iron is involved in the transport of oxygen in the body and prevents anemia in the expectant mother in the last months of gestation.

Zinc determines active tissue regeneration and normal formation of the fetal skeleton. The element reduces the risk of developing certain intrauterine anomalies.

Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) - is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Promotes rapid healing of tissues after childbirth. Provides tissue reparative function.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) - participates in the metabolism of amino acids. Counteracts the appearance of pregnancy toxicosis and convulsions. Ensures normal absorption of magnesium. As a coenzyme, it takes part in protein metabolism and the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Necessary for folic acid (folate cycle).
